Workshops for Professionals and the Public

As political orthodoxies become more entrenched throughout society, it’s more important than ever for mental health professionals to preserve open inquiry. OTI workshops offer insights into overlooked issues in mental health and the broader culture. Workshops are led by professionals with a wide range of theoretical orientations, political views, and areas of expertise. They address topics like: biases in mental health care, how to work therapeutically with overlooked clinical populations, improving cross-political dialogue, masculinity, the role of religion and spirituality in mental health care, racial issues, gender/sexuality, self-censorship, and many others. Workshops aim to help professionals better understand and treat their patients, offer insights into contemporary culture, and give people practical tools to address problems in their lives.
